The Data Statistics and Numbers Behind Box Hill School Planning

Box Hill Public School opened its temporary facilities on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2025 with an initial intake of 300 students in Kindergarten to Year 2, then expanded to 600 students across Kindergarten to Year 6 by Term 3 of the same year.

The 1,000 per cent rise in the local student population recorded between 2018 and 2023 created the immediate requirement for additional classrooms and teaching spaces. That growth rate, drawn from verified queue records, directly shaped decisions on facility size and the speed of the rollout.

Phased Opening and Capacity Targets

Box Hill High School is scheduled to open in temporary facilities on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2026, beginning with Year 7 students on George Street next to the primary school site. The secondary campus is planned to reach 300 students in Years 7 and 8 during 2027. Both schools are set to move into permanent buildings at Terry Road on Day 1 of Term 1 in 2028.

Collectively the two campuses plus a co-located public preschool are designed to accommodate up to 3,000 students from the surrounding neighbourhoods. The $3.9 billion NSW Government allocation for Western Sydney school infrastructure covers the permanent Terry Road construction and the earlier temporary demountable installations.

Next Steps for Families

Parents seeking enrolment information can consult the latest information pack released by School Infrastructure NSW in July 2025, which lists contact details and intake procedures for both the primary and high school sites. Updates on transition dates and preschool registration will be posted on the same government portal as construction milestones are reached.
